Venom's PG-13 Rating May Have Everything to Do With Spider-Man

No official reason has been given, but the softer rating does allow the movie to play to a broader audience, increasing its box-office chances, while keeping the door open for Spider-Man later down the line, which is harder to do if Venom is R-rated. That's not exactly the same as making an R-rated movie, but it would certainly be an added incentive for fans to pick the film up on home video. "Venom could be in an R-rated movie and a PG-13 movie".

The director recently dropped a bomb in that he couldn't talk if Spider-Man is in the movie.

The film has an October 5, 2018 release also starring Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, Reid Scott and Ron Cephas Jones, with the movie described as: One of Marvel's most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.
